Was this the start of a US Presidential campaign

[Balance]

The game changes :

Not old man vs con man anymore

But

Prosecutor vs con man

These headlines are brilliant:

Harris touts her career as a prosecuter "I know Donald Trump's type".

Harris, swiftly consolidating support among Democrats, lays out her record against Trumps criminal record.

And this will have the Fornicating Trump spewing into his McCafe :

Harris’ campaign raises $81 million in 24 hours

Kamala Harris’ campaign has broken fundraising records, racking in $81 million in its first 24 hours.

The eye-watering figure is the largest amount of money raised in a 24-hour span in presidential history, according to Harris’ campaign, who noted a “groundswell” of support behind the Vice President.

It comes as 888,000 grassroots donors made contributions in the past 24 hours, 60 per cent of whom made their first contribution during the 2024 election race.

Wow that's fantastic to hear, especially all those new donors. Harris is likely to engage many people who perhaps don't even regularly vote.

Both Taylor Swift & Beyonce have endorsed Harris.
The Swifty movement could be huge for Harris in the youth vote.

Watching if there’s a groundswell of diverse, youth and female voters swing behind Harris - this could be the decider for the election of the experienced & seasoned Prosecutor vs the old con man.

Yes, Trump is now indeed the old man as well as the con man.

The old con man - focus now shifts to his rumbling & confused mumblings and utterances now that the old man is gone.

And with Biden’s often stumbling public appearances – and especially his disastrous debate – now a thing of the past, there is likely to be a fresh focus on Trump’s mental acuity and his frequently rambling, confused campaign speeches.

Last month, for example, Trump got the name of his own doctor wrong. Previously he has made high-profile campaign trail gaffes, in which he seemed to think Barack Obama was still president and mistook his arch Republican rival Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi.

Political commentator Anthony Michael Kreis posted on Twitter/X soon after Biden’s announcement: “I can’t believe the GOP is running an old guy for president. Yikes.”

A bit of Orwellian speak or Newspeak in the following comment by Musk in the article i.e. individual freedom for the elite and less freedom for the average citizen, and as for the heavy hand of government = Trump will be the government and yes it will be a heavy hand for those who don’t agree with him.

“Musk, perhaps sensing he’d touched a nerve, gave a relatively measured reply in which he admitted that Trump has flaws but said the country needs an “administration that is more likely to be meritocratic and promote individual freedoms over the heavy hand of government.”

Would Elon hire someone with a criminal record to be his gardener or work in one of his companies?

If not, then why is he asking people to consider one for president.

Anyone but anyone who supports Trump needs to reflect on this :

“Hard for me to support someone with no values, lies, cheats, rapes, demeans women, hates immigrants like me,” Khosla replied.

“He may cut my taxes or reduce some regulation but that is no reason to accept depravity in his personal values.

Do you want President who will set back climate by a decade in his first year?

Do you want his example for your kids as values?”

A betting person will put money on Harris closing the gap on the old con man quickly within the next 2 months :
